I can’t seem to find my self again
The storms keeps breaking out,
In rivers of pain.
I can’t walk the road seems endless,
And to go blind seem senseless.

I’m in a place I don’t wanna stay
But I am holding in hopes of
Better things are coming my way.
I know for as long as I’ll be strong
There’ll be a morning a new day
That’ll shine even when I’m wrong.

These four walls are slowly closing in
The air is disappearing,
Into nothing.
Dreaming of a place so high,
My wings are broken I can’t fly.

I’m in a place I don’t wanna stay
But I am holding in hopes of
Better things are coming my way.
I know for as long as I’ll be strong
There’ll be a morning a new day
That’ll shine even when I’m wrong.

I can’t see the day for night
Through the darkness I can’t see the light
But I’m standing strong
Through the pain I’m holding on.

I’m in a place I don’t wanna stay
But I am holding in hopes of
Better things are coming my way.
I know for as long as I’ll be strong
There’ll be a morning a new day
That’ll shine even when I’m wrong.

Somebody is a Linkin Park fan. "By Myself" is a very cool song.  

It is great to hear that you are going to stand strong no matter how bad things may get.

Excellent piece.

Well done. I enjoyed this one

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
